Series with perfect endings?

Turkey · June 20, 2015, 03:56:25 PM

Most shows either long outlive their time and just sort of fizzle out, or try to force an abrupt and disappointing end. Post some series you've seen that ended perfectly. I'll start:

The Office

YouTube

Scrubs

YouTube

I've heard Mad Men's ending was great, but I haven't finished it because half of the last season isn't on Netflix yet.

The Office had a good ending, but it was a pathetic and unfunny road to there after Carell left.

OT: Twin Peaks, Baccano, Community, Sopranos.

Community has an ending?

Series finale aired two weeks ago, and it was pretty goddamn perfect. S6 had its flaws, but that ending wrapped up the entire show so brilliantly.

The Berserk anime series.

I found the ending way too clean, but hey, to each his own. If you want a detailed explanation of why I didn't like it, go dig up that review.

It wasn't a bad ending by any means, but I wouldn't call it perfect in any world.

Marble Hornets.

Even though I think I'm the only person on the Internet who enjoyed how it ended.

What's the ending? I followed it from the start but it was so long between episodes I lost interest.

I shouldn't have posted. It hurts me to think about that mind-rotting garbage. Sorry.

Sword Art Online.

HAHA, HOLY SHIT NO

Super Irish · June 20, 2015, 04:41:33 PM

Futurama.

It had two perfect endings (considering that at the time The Devil's Hand Are Idle Playthings was going to be the last one until it got rebooted).

YouTube

Cheat · June 20, 2015, 04:43:18 PM

I enjoyed Breaking Bad's ending.

Solonoid · June 20, 2015, 04:44:37 PM

Tbh tho, prolly Korra and breaking bad.

Halo 3 would've been a great place to end the chiefs story, because he is supposed to be a metaphor fur the sleeping king under the mountain, who will wake up at the end of time to save the world, but Halo 4 ruined that.

It was a beautiful and sad ending.

Dopameme · June 20, 2015, 04:49:05 PM

I thought Prison Break's ending was pretty good

Not quite sure where you ended up stopping, but all right.

Spoiler

In the penultimate entry, Tim finally confronts Alex at Benedict Hall. During their fight, it's confirmed by Alex that the entire cast of Marble Hornets is indeed dead, including Amy and Brian, because he believes that killing everyone involved with the film is the only way to stop the Operator from spreading his disease to other people. This is learned only after Tim mortally wounds him. At the end of the entry, it's left ambiguous as to whether Tim made it out alive, but at the beginning of the final entry (#87), he's shown to have survived, along with Jessica, who appears briefly alongside Tim as they briefly update each other on their physical statuses and mental well-being. At this point, Jay has been long dead (I can't remember precisely how, when, or why), but Tim lies about him being alive to Jessica before they depart. The final shot is of Tim driving off, and it stops as soon as Tim reaches a fork in the road.

Virtually no questions regarding the Operator were answered. A lot of people think they pulled a Lost, but frankly, I don't really want to know anything about the Operator. Part of what makes him a fearsome entity is indeed the fact that he is so mysterious, and having an explanation for all his motives and whereabouts would not only spoil that, it also wouldn't make a lick of sense. How exactly would you be able to explain something like the Operator anyway? There is nothing they could have written that would have satisfied anybody, and that's precisely why I'm satisfied with such an ambiguous ending.

Oh wait! What ending?

Oh, damn. I stopped around episode 40, because it had dragged on for years and weeks between tiny snippets of story made it hard to follow.
